Initial reports indicated several officers associated with the White House motorcycle escorts could be disciplined for the incident. Chief Cathy Lanier said Thursday on WTOP’s “Ask the Chief” that only one officer is under investigation.

The incident is now considered an “administrative investigation,” Lanier says, and will be turned over to the D.C. police Internal Affairs Division.

The officer is on “non-contact,” she says, but is still working.
